UltimateMaster3884d ago

That game was bugged to begin with.

SnakeCQC3884d ago

im never buying a total war game ever again.

UltimateMaster3884d ago

They aren't all as bad.
But this one was rushed and poorly executed.

SnakeCQC3884d ago

i watched the angryjoe review and he posted quite alot of dev diaries and there was just sooo many lies. Like how the budget was 40% bigger than any previous total war game and how sophisticated the ai was etc

HeyImBen113884d ago (Edited 3884d ago )

I'll never buy one at release, but i'll just buy it when all the patches are here, because then its the best RTS series out there imo.

When i have my new PC next year, i'll probably just buy the whole Total War collection :).

@Erudito87

I've watched that review and a lot of other reviews Angry Joe had made. There's a lot of things in TW:R2 that made him angry but he didn't easily give up on it or any other games that he loved no matter how bad the latest one stinks. His rants were more like advices (loud ones) for the devs to consider in making the new ones.

He hated Saints Row the Third but he didn't say he's never buying a Saints game ever again. The same goes for Total War: Rome 2. Don't be in a hurry to write something off. It's not something like Ride To Hell.

I know of the bugs, I'm still going to buy it in a week or so.

This game is better than most, even with the bugs.

LG_Fox_Brazil374d ago

Shadow of Rome was so freaking good

Sashamaz373d ago

I'm still waiting for the sequel.

HyperMoused373d ago

Ryse was awesome, i have no idea why it wasnt recieved well and why we havnt seen another, Rome conquered so much, you could take the action anywhere, and it looked great when xbox one came out, now would be even better.

4 famous games that completely butchered history

Bárbara writes: "History-inspired games have been around for a while and I’m pretty sure every gamer has come across one or two in their lifetime. And while they can be incredibly fun to play, their historical accuracy is often pretty shaky. Don’t get me wrong, in recent years developers have started to work harder to get facts right, but we’re still far from reality. Today we will explore 4 big games that butchered the chapters of history they are based on."

EA tried to market Battlefield 1 as an epic WW1 period piece. It was really just a hybrid of stripped down Battlefield 4 and Star Wars Battlefront (2015) disguised as WW1 shooter.

KyRo1350d ago (Edited 1350d ago )

I'm not sure what it was you played but it certainly weren't BF1. The campaign showing the different periods of the war through the eyes of different soldiers was a good way to show the harsh reality of a WW. Was it groundbreaking? No, but it was a good effort.

It also played nothing like SW and added a whole heap of things to the BF formula to simply be called a reskin.

Sciurus_vulgaris1349d ago

The “harsh reality” of WW1 was not shown by BF1. There is mission where the player is wearing tank-like armour that is repeatedly stated as being near impervious to damage. Metal armour existed in WW1, but was quickly abandoned as it wasn’t effective against bullets or explosives. Or the other reality breaking mission we’re you play as a man with superhuman speed....

BF1 streamed down the guns mechanics making all weapons easier to use. Classes were marginalized and team-play was stripped down. BF1 focused on chaotic gameplay with no emphasis on strategy, just like Battlefront. Reduced gun skill , again just like Battlefront.

HyperMoused1350d ago

So you you are telling me historically you cant jump off a ten story building into hay and live.

Unknown_Gamer57941350d ago (Edited 1350d ago )

Indeed. Ezio actually died in ACII when he jumped off that tall building in Florence. If I recall correctly, that one was actually a cart with a pile of flower petals. Everything that happened after that was him in the afterlife envisioning where life would have taken him had he lived. Clearly the guy had a grim view on his future...
